ABOUT US
MAKING A DIFFERENCE THROUGH LEADERSHIP
The Arc of Rock Island County is an independent, nonprofit organization providing services and supports to people with developmental disabilities. Through its programs and advocacy efforts, The Arc works to meet the needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families in the Quad City community.
The Arc’s programs are designed to meet a range of needs. As developmental disabilities exist on a broad spectrum, so too do The Arc’s services and supports. From 24-hour residential care to intermittent job coaching, our programs are designed to meet the varied and changing needs of the people we serve.
The Arc’s programs are staffed by skilled, caring people who value above all else the well-being of the individuals with whom they work. Each day, our staff of 300 employees demonstrate The Arc’s key values: commitment, flexibility, and respect.
